Here’s a recap of September!

September ends
This month has flown by! The leaves on the tree in our yard are just starting to turn yellow, and Skelly has made his (her?) appearance in our neighborhood! Our neighbor has an amazing collection of Halloween decorations and Birch has been talking about it for weeks. When we finally got down, I was pretty scared! I wouldn’t turn my back for a photo, so we took this one 🙂
September begins!
But let’s go back to early September because someone turned 12! He requested a sleepover with two of his friends and we ate ice cream to celebrate.
I asked him to make a list of things he wanted for his birthday this year, and 90% of it was fishing gear!
For their sleepover, we took the kids to Riverside for burgers and fries, and then they built a huge fort in the basement and watched a movie.
Rumor has it they stayed up until 3am!
UVA Football
In the middle of the month we went to a UVA men’s soccer game. Thomas and Nash’s father met us there.
Raise your hand if you play soccer!
Thomas will take this season off from corec to focus on playing golf and watching football. I miss having him on the court!
Virginia Spirits Dinner
Thomas and I were invited to a special dinner in honor of Virginia Spirits Month! we went to fine cloth at Wool Factory and enjoyed a 4 course treat.
Chef Tucker Yoder surprised again with some super creative dishes. There was a crumbled cocoa cookie under the salad that was next to the Oreo and an amazing combination with fresh vegetables (sounds weird, but I loved it!).
Lemongrass + salted coconut water + Vitae Spirts Platinum rum!
The dessert course was amazing!
That pata de pata ice cream was perfect with the combination of finely chopped nectarine and a crumble underneath.
(Don’t worry, I didn’t finish all my drinks or I wouldn’t have been able to get out!)
Out of town
Meg and I went out for a girls’ night out. First stop Bang, second stop Bebedero!
I’m obsessed with this Chai Old Fashioned in Bang. And the coconut rice!
These menus!!
Trivia night with this team!
Our team did quite well. I think we got 7th place out of almost 30.
